Dmac gives an enthusiastic thumb up to this one-off guitar hand built by Stephen Cripe.
Cripe is best known for building two guitars for Jerry Garcia: "Lightning Bolt" and "Top Hat".
Cripe's notes state that the Eagle:
"Was most likely to be to be Jerry's next guitar.
This guitar was built at the same time as Jerry's Top Hat".
Very resonant sounding guitar made of East Indian rosewood (recycled from a 19th century Asian opium bed), maple and purpleheart neck, laminated headstock, 24 fret Brazilian rosewood neck, marthog tusk ivory eagle's head inlay, semi-hollowbody. An effects loop was professionally installed by Gary Brawer in San Francisco. The original Dimarzio Super 2's are in the case.
